Merchant Ivory became the name for a whole kind of English costume drama. In A Room with a View Lucy Honeychurch and her chaperone are given rooms without views in Florence, and two fellow guests offer to swap. Maurice follows a young man in Edwardian England coming to terms with his sexuality after his lover rejects him. The Remains of the Day watches a rule-bound head butler whose world is disturbed by a new housekeeper.
